Inventory
Know what is on every shelf, in every location.
Every item counted to the unit, with par levels, shelf life and suppliers kept right beside it. So the number you see is the number on the shelf.
Set up in minutes: bring your item list in from a spreadsheet.
How an item lives in Culimise
From the delivery door to the dinner rush.
Four steps, and the same item carries its cost, its pars and its dates the whole way.
Add it once.
Name it, pick a unit, and say if it comes by the case. Item codes and categories are filled in for you.
- Auto-generated item codes
- Food-safety categories built in
- Bring your list in from a CSV
Count it the way it is stored.
Sealed cases and the open case are counted separately, and the math is done for your team.
- Cases plus open units
- Count by storage location
- Faster counts, fewer mistakes
Set the level that matters.
Set par, min and max, and the item tells you when it needs attention instead of the other way round.
- Par, min and max levels
- Low-stock flag on the item
- Feeds your reorder suggestions
Watch the dates.
Shelf life is estimated for you. If a product is still good, a manager can extend the date, with a record of who did it.
- Estimated expiration
- Manager-approved extensions
- Full audit trail
Everything in Inventory
The small things that keep the number true.
Case and pack tracking
Count sealed cases and the open case separately, so your value and reorders reflect what is on the shelf.
Storage locations
Put every item where it lives, and move items between locations when you rearrange.
Two suppliers per item
Keep each one's price and pack size, and switch the main supplier in a click.
Waste logging
Log what was thrown away, why, and what it cost. Waste that needs a sign-off gets one.
Import and export
Bring your spreadsheet in with a template, and export your items whenever you want them.
Transfers between locations
Move stock from one location to another and keep a record of it.
What you see on day one
The numbers that run the kitchen, always current.
Value on hand, what is running low, and what is about to expire, all drawn from the same counts.
Sample data for illustration.

Questions about Inventory
Can I count by the case?
Yes. Track an item as a case or pack and count sealed cases plus the units left in the open one.
Does it track expiration dates?
Yes. Shelf life is estimated from food-safety guidance, and a manager can approve an extension with a reason. Every extension is recorded.
Can I bring my existing item list?
Yes. Import a CSV using the template, then set par levels and starting counts at your own pace.
Can I run more than one location?
Yes. Items and counts are kept per location, and you can record transfers between them.
Start with one shelf.
